She told the members of from Reddit Beautyforum that she “always” had bumps on her thighs, despite being a “very fit and sporty girl”.
CHEERIO CELLULITIS
The 5ft 5in, 110lb woman said her money was “going down the toilet” when she tried to tackle her cellulite with creams, oils and massages.
Eight years ago, she decided to eliminate all sugar from her diet except fruit, hoping to improve her appearance and increase her chances of getting pregnant.
She decided to eat more proteins and healthy fats and exercise more. She also combined her lifestyle with frequent sauna visits.
“And I also started with the absolute game changer: cryotherapy,” says the woman, who has since deleted said her account.
“The cryochamber is like a reverse sauna, where you spend 3-4 minutes in a temperature of about -120 degrees Celsius.
“It’s not as bad as it sounds, but it is cold, haha.”
“You feel the capillaries in your body burst and the blood starts to flow everywhere in your body.”

She said the treatment would leave her skin “really red,” and her thighs and elbows felt like they were burning.
“You wear protection: wooden slippers, wool socks, a face mask, a hat and mittens,” she said.
“You go in wearing only your underwear.
“When you are done, it is important to warm up your body again. Therefore, go straight to the small gym, where you stand on the treadmill or bike for 15 minutes.
“I’ll also take a hot shower afterwards.”
She enthusiastically reported that within a few months her legs became ‘smoother and firmer and the cellulite started to diminish and disappear.’
“Now, after going every week for 8 years, my legs have never looked better,” she said.
What is cellulite?
According to Medical news todayCellulite is a ‘bumpy appearance’ on the skin caused by fat deposits pushing through the connective tissue.
The dimples can appear anywhere, but are most common on the buttocks and thighs.
“There are no bumps, the skin is smooth and firm and I only see a little cellulite if I squeeze my thigh really hard.
“Cryotherapy has many health benefits (including making my skin tighter and more youthful), but I never thought it would help me get rid of my cellulite.
“I highly recommend it to anyone who cares about their health.”
TRENDY TREATMENT
Many Redditors gave the post a positive review, saying they would love to try cryotherapy for themselves.
According to HealthlineAnecdotal evidence suggests that cryotherapy can improve dermatitis and other skin conditions.
Experts advise not to stay in cold temperatures for more than four minutes during whole body cryotherapy.
A doctor may advise you not to eat or drink anything for 12 hours before the procedure.
Other potential benefits of cryotherapy include reducing arthritic pain and treating low-risk tumors.
People with diabetes or conditions that affect their nerves are not eligible for the treatment, as they may not feel the effect properly.
